A significant association of Mycoplasma genitalium with non-gonococcal urethritis has been reported, but the prevalence of this mycoplasma in men with gonococcal urethritis has not been so well studied. In this study, we examined urethral swab specimens from 45 Japanese male patients with gonococcal urethritis for the presence of M. genitalium by using a polymerase chain reaction-based assay. We also sought Chlamydia trachomatis by an enzyme immunoassay (Chlamydiazyme). Of the 45 specimens, 2 (4.4%) were positive for the mycoplasma and 12 (26.7%) were positive for C. trachomatis. The findings suggest that M. genitalium may be a cause not only of non-gonococcal urethritis but also of postgonococcal urethritis.
据报道，生殖支原体与非淋菌性尿道炎有显著关联，但该支原体在淋菌性尿道炎男性患者中的患病率尚未得到充分研究。在本研究中，我们使用基于聚合酶链反应的检测方法，对45名日本淋菌性尿道炎男性患者的尿道拭子标本进行检测，以确定是否存在生殖支原体。我们还通过酶免疫测定法（衣原体酶检测）检测沙眼衣原体。在45份标本中，2份（4.4%）生殖支原体呈阳性，12份（26.7%）沙眼衣原体呈阳性。这些发现表明，生殖支原体可能不仅是非淋菌性尿道炎的病因，也是淋菌性尿道炎后尿道炎的病因。
